Several studies show the importance of basic psychological needs (BPN) for decreasing burnout and increasing grade point average (GPA), but, to our knowledge, no prior study has explored the potential contextual differences in Southeastern European countries. Moreover, even less is known about how this relationship may differ during stressful (exam) and less stressful (beginning of the semester) periods. Measures of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey and BPN Satisfaction and Frustration Scale were translated and adapted. The study included a cross-sectional sample of students from Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia during beginning of the semester and exam period. Across all countries and both contexts, students with high autonomy need satisfaction showed the strongest decrease in burnout, followed by those with high competence need satisfaction. Students with high academic achievement showed an increase due to competence need satisfaction. Competence and autonomy need satisfaction were higher beginning of a semester, while burnout was higher during the exam period. BPN play an important role in educational settings-satisfaction of the need for autonomy and competence protects students from burnout, and the need for competence predicts greater academic achievement regardless of culture or time of the semester.
多项研究表明，基本心理需求（BPN）对于减少倦怠和提高平均绩点（GPA）非常重要，但据我们所知，之前没有研究探讨过东南欧国家潜在的情境差异。此外，人们对这种关系在压力大（考试）和压力较小（学期开始）期间可能有何不同知之甚少。采用了 Maslach 倦怠量表-学生调查和 BPN 满意度和挫折感量表进行测量。该研究包括克罗地亚、塞尔维亚和斯洛文尼亚在学期开始和考试期间的学生的横断面样本。在所有国家和两种情况下，自主需要满足程度高的学生倦怠感下降最明显，其次是能力需要满足程度高的学生。由于能力需要的满足，学生的成绩有所提高。能力和自主需要在学期开始时较高，而在考试期间倦怠感较高。BPN 在教育环境中发挥着重要作用——满足自主和能力的需要可以保护学生免受倦怠的影响，而能力的需要预测无论文化或学期时间如何，都会取得更大的学业成就。
